Danger Signals

You NEED this guide, if you have ever experienced one of the following...

• You can’t scrape together the $20 minimum credit card payment each month.

• That great outfit you bought last week went out of style exactly three seconds after you paid for it and is now lying on your closet floor.

• You’re using a credit card for necessities like hair gel and snacks because you have no cash.

• You have to avoid your friends at school because you owe them money.

• You’ve been reduced to begging your parents for chores in order to make money to pay off your bills.

• You had to pawn your CD player to pay for all those cool CDs you bought last month.

• Your parents give you funny looks when you leave for school wearing a $500 leather jacket, but ask them for lunch money.

Warning Signals

You SHOULD have this guide, if you have ever experienced one of these:

• You’ve really really wanted to go out one night, but simply couldn’t find the money.

• The above, but you couldn’t even afford to rent a movie, instead.

• You’ve ever given rolled coins to a gas attendant.

• Someone has asked you for a dollar, and you turned and said, “No, but can I have the quarter in your hand?”

It is because of the poor misfortunate folks who have dealt with these symptoms, and the terrible image that they are portraying to the rest of the world that I have chosen to do a manual on how to live rich without money. I, myself, am always broke. Never do I have money, but I still manage to make the world think that I have all the money I want. Today, I am going to share my secrets with you. Remember, though, this is not a step-by-step tutorial, as there is no possible way I could predict every incident and all people are different when it comes to their money. This is just a guide, a helper, to help you be well on your way to free success. Please use the convenient table of contents to help you find exactly what you need for the situation you find yourself in. Carry this manual everywhere you go, and if you are ever about to make any monetary transactions, stop, take a deep breath, and double check that you are doing the right thing.

    Another reason people become poor is that they spend their earnings on their "wants" and not on the necessities. That then leads to the realization that they cannot pay rent/mortgage and are evicted. But for the reason to spend their money the way they want was influenced towards bragging rights and/or the "want" to feel a part of the wealthier. Cottom observed that, "Errol Louis and his belief is held by many people, including African Americans, poor people, and formerly poor people that spending money excessively is not logical."

    I asked her did that sound familiar? Now we began the discussion on her Financial DNA Personal Environment appraisal. It was of importance for Janet to understand the effects of one’s environment and how this was the first step in resolution by developing strategies to move forward (Massie, 2006, p. 144). I informed Janet that implementing a strategic debt pay-down as part of the actual budget and financial plan was her in road to financial stability. Janet welcomed this idea and felt now was the time to correct her thinking and approach to financial decisions. I suggested that we apply the spend down plan in accordance to Dr. David Murphy (n. d) in the lecture Spending and Debt on alleviating credit card debt. Dr. Murphy (n. d) asserts, “Pay off smallest first. Once smallest is paid off, add that payment to second debt. Once the second debt is paid off, add that payment to third debt, etc. until all debts are paid (p.

  • The Millionaire Next Door By William Danko And Thomas J. Stanley

    1507 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Millionaire Next Door written by William Danko and Thomas J. Stanley illustrates the misconception of high luxury spenders in wealthy neighborhoods are considered wealthy. This clarifies that American’s who drive expensive cars, and live in lavish homes are not millionaires and financially independent. The authors show the typical millionaire are one that is frugal, and disciplined. Their cars are used, and their suits were purchased at a discount. As we read the book from cover to cover are misconceptions start to fade. The typical millionaire is very frugal in all endeavors and finds the best discounts possible. A budget is implemented daily, monthly, and annually for a typical millionaire. They live by the budget and are goal oriented. Living well below their means is crucial for a millionaire, and discovering ways to allocate time and money more efficiently. The typical millionaire next door is different than the majority of America presumes. Let’s first off mention what it is not. The typical millionaire is surprisingly not the individual with the lavish house worth a million dollars, owning multiple expensive cars, a boat, expensive clothes, and ultimately living lavishly. The individual is frugal and often looks for discounts for consumable goods. The book illustrates the typical millionaire in one simple word: frugal. It is shocking to believe that this is true, but it does make sense. To achieve financial independence is inherently more satisfying and important than accumulating wealth. According to the book the majority of these millionaires portray characteristics of being sacrificial, disciplined, persistent and frugal. In the book it states, “Being frugal is the cornerstone of wealth-building. Yet far too often th...

    As of 2017, 157 million Americans had credit card debt and that about 62.4% have credit card debt balances (Personal Finance Statistics, 2018). Credit is the practice of purchasing something now under the guidelines that it will be paid back later. One of the basic topics within credit is the credit score, a three-digit score that the higher it is the better interest rates you will receive and easier it will be to get loans. The credit score is determined from five categories: payment history, amount you owe, amount of time the individual has had and used credit, when the individual last had a credit application and the types of credit acquired. To ensure a high credit score the individual should: pay on time, pay debt over a period, avoid closing an account and not open many credit accounts (B. Fay, 2017). While many take up a credit card another option exists to avoid the issue of debt, debit.

I explained that this wrench had been my trusted helper for many years. It was the main tool I used for my small golf cart refurbishing business. I explained to them how I would buy old golf carts off craigslist and then rebuild the engines, and make repairs. Then I would relist them and sell them for a profit. I also told them about how my wrench helped me to be the neighborhood fix-it guy. My wrench had been especially helpful last spring when I assisted our plumber in repairing a major foundation leak.
